The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which registered nurse (RN) staffing patterns influenced nursing home quality. Based upon extensive literature review, a model for nursing home quality was developed. Using data from reports of 455 Medicare-certified skilled nursing facilities, structural, process, and outcome factors thought to influence quality were entered into the model and analyzed using ordinary least squares regression. A small, though statistically significant, proportion of the variance in quality nursing home care was explained by the equation. A positive, significant relationship existed between nursing home quality and the ratio of RN hours to licensed vocational nurse (LVN) hours per resident day.
本研究的目的是确定注册护士(RN)人员配置模式对疗养院质量的影响程度。基于广泛的文献综述,开发了一个疗养院质量模型。利用来自455家医疗保险认证的熟练护理机构报告的数据,将被认为会影响质量的结构、过程和结果因素纳入该模型,并使用普通最小二乘法回归进行分析。该方程解释了优质疗养院护理中一小部分(尽管在统计学上具有显著性)的方差。疗养院质量与每位居民每天的注册护士工作时长与持牌职业护士(LVN)工作时长之比之间存在正向显著关系。
